I'm going to contact Alex to see what he thinks it's gonna take to get this Tikka up to being match grade.
If I end up keeping both rifles there's a part of me that would like to go with a 6.5mm cartridge in my Tikka because my 6mm Fat Rat can push a 105 Berger at about 2775 so I wouldn't gain a ton going with a 6BR, more accuracy perhaps but similar ballistics. Also if I had a 6.5mm I would have a gun easily capable of 1000 yards and it would still have less recoil than the 308.
